i thought my post was clear enough. i have no clue what a virtual folder is. i would like to know is there an app for android that will allow me to make a shortcut out of a folder, that is full of media, that is located on my sd card, and place the shortcut on my homescreen so all i have to do is click on that link and it will take me to the sd card folder location so that now i can scroll through lets say pdf files. ok senerio... on my sd card i have a folder called schedules and it is full of pdf's. the folder location is home/external_sd/work/schedules/*pdf files*. i would like to create a shortcut of the folder labeled "schedules", and place that link on my homescreen launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
That is actually a really good idea, I can't think of anything that can do this. +1 to this post.
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
if you are familar with windows mobile, its like turning a folder on your sd card into an .ink file and placing it into start/windows/start menu/programs. by doing that, you can create a quick link of that .ink file in lets say cht homescreen and now all you have to do is click it and it will take you to the sd folders location in one simple step.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
This got me thinking...

Have a look at Smart Shortcuts in the market. I've just had a play with it and was able to add a widget to my homescreen that when pressed, would list direct links to specific files or folders.

I hope this is what you were after...

Let us know how you get on :)
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Screenshot to explain what I mean...

Pressing the 'test' icon brings up a list - 1 folder, 1 file. These are direct links to the appropriate location.

You have to bookmark these 'targets' using the file manager that smart shortcuts asks you to install.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
thanks for the reply. i am downloading it now.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Ok. Keep us updated.

Time for sleep.....
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
mike you are the man !!! i got it done. now it will only take 2 clicks which is way better than swiping, clicking and more swiping lol. thanks big time for this find!
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
ES File Explorer has a feature to add a shortcut to a folder to the desktop.

1 click and ES opens up sdcard/openrecovery

Oh wow I just looked at it and it has a bookmark manager...

Basically you can make shortcuts in there too and in categores (music, videos, etc) and put a shortcut on your desktop for the bookmark manager as well.
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
yup its a powerful tool to have installed.
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
i just had a lil time to play with es file explorer and i could not find that feature:confused::confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
Long press on a folder and from the popup menu, select Shortcut.

I just noticed... it works on files too... heh.

For bookmark manager, press Menu, Manager, then Bookmark Manager.

I forget but I think it will prompt you to download it if it isn't already installed.
[Android Apps and Games] eTechUncut:
all i get on the long press is cut, copy, delete, rename, select all, set as home and properties. you might be using a more current version. mine is 1.x.

edit: just got the 1.4 from the market... works
[Android Apps and Games] guv.:
astro can do the same thing. just long press on your homescreen, select shortcut and then astro. there you can choose a folder and you get a shortcut to it.

Anyone have 2.3.2 radio baseband ?

I need to downgrade from 2.3.3
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inakipaz:
I second this. Having problems with Radio. Mobile is working OK BUT the telephone. SIM is not being read correctly. SNS is not asking for PIN.

Tested PIN on a HTC magic and works, so SIM is OK.

Anyone HELP!!!

Anyone else had the same problem?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inakipaz:
OK, now radio is OK. Just unlocked and flashed full 2.3.3 ROM (90Megas version). Radio is OK again.

UFFFFF!!!!!

However the phone is CLEAN!!!! BUAAAAAA!!!!!

I have a nand backup from 2.3.2 before starting to play :-)

I will keep playing a little bit more, restoring it.

Edit: Phone is back 2.3.2 fully alive again, with data restored ....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inakipaz:
Ok. Finally got into 2.3.3 fully working. Radio OK. All data OK. And Rooted.

Process I followed to get everything OK.

1. Install full 2.3.3

2. Restore nand from 2.3.2 with data

3. Re-apply the patch from 2.3.2. to 2.3.3.

Everything worked.

Had to unlock in the process, since after installing full 2.3.3 root was lost.

[Nexus S General] MadFerIt2011:
Hey everyone. I just recently updated to 2.3.3 on a rooted (locked bootloader) Nexus S. I did a fastboot oem unlock/lock to try and remove the root files. After accomplishing this and starting with a fresh factory reset 2.3.3 device I've noticed Market is not updating as it was with 2.3.2.

Is anyone experiencing this? And is there any APK file from the 2.3.2 market version someone has a link for?

Mine didn't update straight away, I cleared the market app cache and data. I also forced stopped the market and market updater then opened the market again.

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-android-2-3-gingerbread-update-imminent-20110225/

They are stating that a March release for GB is happening. I started reading more and more into it(German translators suck BTW) and it seems that the consencous is that the GB build on the Nexus S has been ported(due to similar hardware) to the Galaxy S line and will be ready for launch in March. Now this seems to be the I9000 only as no mention on any of the 15 blogs that I looked at stated the US variants.

So if this is true and given the time frame for the I9000 update to Froyo to when the US variants received it(or haven't) then we could see it around Thanksgiving :p

Of course this is all based on whether the info presented is legit and not some crappy, my cousins brother in law's uncle heard from and airline stewardess that.....
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I say we go through the froyo release structure again. Either using the I9000 kernel or leaks that come out piece by piece, till we get 6 months out of the official release of GB.

[HTC Inspire 4G] colbur87:
Ok, So I got my new inspire 4g. I just wanted your guys' advice on rooting. Since its so new, and seems to be kindy buggy; would you guys recommend that I wait a little bit longer until there are more rooting options? (IE: one click root, more stable roms, no sound issues, etc)

I have the know how to root my device with the hack kit, but I would really like someone else's opinion.

Thanks in advanced guys. I am new to this forum but I have a lot of experience in rom-engineering(Worked on the EVOX team back on the original xbox) and application development. I completely believe in open source code and I am looking forward to contributing to the forum!

[HTC Inspire 4G] palletguru:
attn1's hack kit works very well (see the pinned topic) - just follow the steps, and if you have issues, they are extremely helpful in the forum. It may seem daunting at first, but it's really not that difficult.
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
if you use attn1s hack kit and follow the steps in the readme, you should be just fine.

also, this should probably be in general, not development.
[HTC Inspire 4G] colbur87:
Thanks for the advice guys.

Also: didnt notice I was in the development forum, meant to post in general.

[Xoom Accessories] onicrom:
looks like zagg has one: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/motorola-xoom-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

anyone buy this or others?
[Xoom Accessories] clovis_ll:
i bought the one from verizon. its 3 pack glossy screen protector.
[Xoom Accessories] arrtoodeetoo:
I'd like to find a screen protector that tones down the gloss a little bit.

Is the pack from Verizon like the Droid version (the Verizon branded ones)? Those were about $10 cheaper than the ones at Best Buy, and work a lot better, too.
[Xoom Accessories] deadpixell:
The ones that Verizon carries are typically the plastic stuff for anti-glare/gloss. Best Buy only carries invisible shields
[Xoom Accessories] bmbriefs:
Anybody recommend one that gives a nice matte finish?
[Xoom Accessories] setite:
Anyone tried a ZAGG invisibleshield or their competitor Skinomi TechSkin? They are both that propeller rubber. I think I am going to order a skinomi because this screen is bull****. It attracts way too many fingerprings and just lookss disgusting when the screen is off. I wash my hand regularly and it makes me feel dirty :)

The reason I'm choosing skinomi is that I had a zagg on my HTC EVO, and like many people I tossed it in the bin after a week when the tackiness became intolerable.
[Xoom Accessories] yankele:
I was just about to ask you if you wash your hands lol (just joking)
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
Agreed. I had the same issue on my phone and got the Invisible Shield and that made a huge difference. Ordered the same for my Xoom, full body, which I hope will have the same results.
[Xoom Accessories] Theme.Holo:
I've also ordered a zagg invisible shield, but just the screen protector. I've had good experiences with the Invisible Shield on my devices (G1, N1, N2, iPad) and expect the product to work well on the Xoom, too.

I do still keep a microfiber cloth around to wipe off the scrud that does inevitably accumulate.
[Xoom Accessories] bruceko86:
This might be a matter of taste but Zagg skins makes the screen look horrible. Its got like an orange tint to it. I only use the full body skin with some other superclear screen protector. Also invisheild gots like little groves, its not 100% flat.

I got it on my Nexus S and its looks like crap.
[Xoom Accessories] js042507:
Coupon codes...

Hey.

If you're planning on getting a ZAGG shield, you can use the promo code 'ZAGG20' to get 20% off. Working as of 20 minutes ago. The full-body is originally $39.99:eek:, but comes down to $31.99 with the code; plus free shipping until late March!

If you're looking to get the Skinomi spin-off, use promo code 'get25' to receive 25% off. The full-body is only $24.99, and with the code it comes down to $18.71! I just ordered one myself.:D This will be my first Skinomi. I've always went with ZAGG, and have no complaints. But 40 bucks is too much for my taste. Hopefully, the Skinomi works just as well. Same material anyway...
[Xoom Accessories] iNdioNicarao:
Thank you kind sir, I just saved 25% on that Skinomi protective shield. Hopefully i have the same or better luck than I have had with the Zagg products
[Xoom Accessories] oneeyejack:
i really hope SGP comes out with one. i like their screen protectors a LOT. they don't have that rubbery feel to it.

just got an email back from them saying they will have one in 4-6 weeks.

this is what they wrote:

Thank you for contacting SGPstore.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Lynn from SGPstore.com.

We are planning on having screen protector for Motorola Xoom.

This will take around 4-6 weeks to be stocked.

Please check our website, facebook, and twitter for the future updates.

Thank you.

This is great to hear. I love what they put out. They are the only protectors buy. If you put them on corectly you will not even know you have it on.
[Xoom Accessories] VegUnited:
I used the code and ordered just the screen protector, thanks very much. I love the Invisible Shield on my Nexus One, I hope this compares in quality
[Xoom Accessories] broadwayblue:
Anyone have experience with the Skinomi skins? I've been a big fan of bestskinsever but they don't have one out for the Xoom yet. Much prefer theirs over Zagg. Might consider trying the Skinomi, can anyone recommend them?
[Xoom Accessories] billywilly:
I got the Skinomi skin on my incredible and I couldn't believe it. I'll never use those cheap verizon ones again. If it gets scratched it "heals" itself somehow. If you dig your fingernail in it you can feel it give almost like a hard rubber. But when you slide your fingers across the screen it's smooth. I just ordered one for my xoom.

The installation was scary at first because it's a very wet process. You have to get the screen, your fingers, and the protector wet and then wait for it to dry for a few hours. I was scared at first but my incredible doesn't have a scratch and I've had it for 9 months now. I didn't hesitate dropping the $15 to get the xoom protection. No yellowing, it sticks well, and has a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend it.
[Xoom Accessories] broadwayblue:
Thanks for the info on the Skinomi. Think I'll give it a shot...just need to decide whether I want just the screen protector or go with the full body or carbon fiber options. Typically I just get a screen protector...but the back of the Xoom seems like pretty scratch-able.

The 2011 version of MLB At Bat is available in the market. This year there's a free lite version and a paid full version.

I downloaded the lite version to test it out and I can't get the video's to play. I get audio but no picture. I am currently running MYN's Warm Z rom. Is anyone else having problems with this app.

I'm going to restore a stock backup that I have and see If I can get it to work. If anyone has similiar issues or finds a soluton let me know. If it does work for you state what rom you are running.

So, do you have to pay 15 dollars every season for this app or did the people who bought it in 2010 get it for free? Also, video was working on my phone running cm7 RC1.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I think you have to pay for every season. I personally just stream the games on my phone through the web. I can't say the name of the website but you guys could search on google.

Too much for a season I think.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
You have to pay every season, you also have to pay for a MLB.TV subscription if you want to watch the games through the app.

Make sure it's not installing to SD Card. Sometimes downloads have disappeared on me, when they auto install to SD card.
[EVO 4G General] redbeard46:
so I have a MLB.TV subscription, where in the app can I put in my subscription info? Cant seem to find it.
[EVO 4G General] miguelfp1:
I think video streaming will become available on Opening Day. From the At Bat site: "Opening Day 2011 is March 31. Additional features and functionalities for At Bat 11 will be released for Opening Day."
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Use TuneIn Radio app in the Market. Streams all radio straight to your EVO, works awesome. I can listen to local radio - meh - or the Giants games from KNBR 650.

This app streams both FM and AM, local and national stuff. Highly recommend.

I didn't know MLB had a lite version, I'll give it a try on my rooted Sense EVO.
[EVO 4G General] silenthatred:
So now that the season started, anyone have the video option? I don't. I have an mlb.tv subscription too. I hope it's not because I have a custom ROM (Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.8). :(

Oh, the obvious. Opps. Guess I should have checked that huh? lolme. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] silenthatred:
And that worked! Guess I will be watching baseball at wor...err, when I get home!
[EVO 4G General] Vegasden:
I think you might want to check that when a game is on. MLB prohibits local stations from streaming on the Internet their feed of the game. You can hear it over the air, but not via internet (I tried).

Then again, if it did work, then you were able to hear the Giants drop their opener. :D Go Blue!

Hi everyone. I have an Ipaq voice messenger, it has wm 6.1 by default. It worked fine, except I couldn't send any sms (I could send MMS), so I've downloaded the official fix from hp. Didn't helped, so I came here. I found hikey's wm6.5 rom here. He said something about the bootloader, so i tried to upgrade the dootloader, but the device gave me this error: "your device rom version is -528:528:528 blabla not gonna work" so I decided to ugrade anyway. The upgrade went well, the ROM is awesome, but no network! No sms, no mms, no calls in-out... I'm stucked. Whatever I tried, the same bs message with the -528:528:528 version comes in.

Hi guys and sorry if I'm allowed to make a small guide (I'm learning) to create and replace icons touchwizgtg base to include those that beat us more about working with photoshop ...

I hope this little guide is helpful to all of you who want a little modding the graphics of your terminal

Well I leave you to better understand this video, good vision :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i643CZzojEY&feature=player_embedded

Sorry for the video is in italian linguage:o

P.s. sorry for some typos that I made for the rush:) (type icons should be 87x87 and 85 as set in the video)

Requirements

TouchWiz installable package with recovery from LINK

STEP 1

Open photoshop and create a new file size you want (eg 300x300) with transparent background

STEP 2

Once created the icons we want, save it in png format, ritagliamola so as to leave no spaces around and in ridimensioniamola 87x87 pixels and save

STEP 3

With 7Zip, navigate inside the Touchwiz.apk, and extract the folder to the Desktop hdpi-drawable (just to get the name of the file we need) copy the name of the png you want to replace (in this case "homescreen_menu_marketbg_0") and rinonimate your icon with that name

STEP 4

Also in the surf with 7Zip Touchwiz.apk, until you enter the following location touchwiz.apk \ res \ drawable-hdpi.

Once this is done you just need to drag your new icon into that folder and answer yes to the question that the program will do.

STEP 5

Now you just need to replace the "old" TouchWiz with this modified by you, or rootexplorer or flash recovery

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbird395:
I originally posted this under "General" and then saw that there is a forum specifically for Win 6.5 HTC HD2 questions...

I had no problems using my HD2's soft keyboard for the first few months, but a couple of weeks ago it started giving me problems. Specifically, when I type anything from the numbers/symbols screen, the characters change font, add spaces between and the texting generally misbehaves.

What is worse is that the symbols in question are illegible to the receiver of my SMSs and the Calendar Appointments that sync with Outlook are equally illegible (each character is represented with a "square" symbol. For example, when I send someone an SMS saying "meet me at 9:00", I see "meet me at 9 : 0 0 " and they see "meet me at XXXX".

Worse still, when I try to SMS someone who is not in my phonebook (dialing in their number), the phone cannot read these symbols and gives me an error. This is UNMANAGEABLE. Is this a common bug? What can I do to fix this? Will I have to switch to a non-native keyboard? What if I upgrade to Win 7?

Please advise and HELP! I have attached screenshots for clarity, showing what I write in SMS and what is received on the other end...

Also HC doesn't have DSP either. Nookie 0.6.8 (DSP introduced in 0.6.7) worked when I tried but has a very small stutter like something occasionally running in the background. Went to Nook 1.1.0 rooted and can notice the small difference. A OC kernel might have fixed the problem but didn't try.
